Proposed Changes to the Minnesota Veterans Homes Administrative Rules

The Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs has issued proposed changes to Minnesota Rules Chapter 9050, pertaining to the administration of the Minnesota Veterans Homes.  A hearing is scheduled for January 31, 2022 at 9:30 AM on the proposed changes.  Many of these changes are significant, including altering wait list criteria, eligibility for admission, and the discharge process.  As proposed, the rules will have a great and adverse impact on veterans and their families who may need to receive long-term care services at the Veterans Homes.  The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the administrative rulemaking process, the history of Chapter 9050, the proposed changes and the impact they will have on veterans.  The goal is to provide instruction on the process and actionable items for those interested in responding to the proposed rules, including not only attorneys but also stakeholder groups who will be impacted by these proposed rules if they are passed in their current form.

This CLE is approved for credit through March 18, 2024.
